Thirty years later, Nic is reeling from a bad divorce and a stalled writing career when an unexpected inheritance draws her back to the town she swore off. What should have been a brief visit stretches on thanks to car trouble, family obligations, and a past that refuses to stay buried.
Slipping back in with her three sisters is easy. Running into Roxy—the green-eyed bartender Nic never quite forgot—is not. Roxy is older, sharper, and entirely too familiar, and the attraction Nic worked so hard to outrun sparks back to life with unsettling ease.
As the two reconnect, a long-hidden family secret comes to light, forcing Nic to see Fisher’s Creek—and her own history—in a different way.
The question is no longer whether Nic can leave again. It’s whether she still wants to.
